'"A 'SQUARE DEAL ?OR EVERY MAN" ur Enemy—The Housefly -Threatens U. More people were killed on this American Continent by flies last year than were slain on the battlefields of France. Thies sent more human beings into their graves within the past twelve months than all the wild beasts of all the wild jungles, mountains, and plains of the world did, The fly is more dangerous than the roaring lion, the slinking tiger, the coiling snake or the 'crouching wildcat 1 because it is easier' to avoid the lion, tiger, snake or wildcat, . The fly. has killed more people than all the criminal murderers of all the nations and all time, The fly is never harmless and always harmful, Flies kill 'more human beings than 1 earthquakes, tornadoes, floods, fires, 1 volcanic eruptions. Flies kill more people each year than are drowned that year in all the lakes, rivers, ponds, oceans combined. Flies are more deadly than rattle- snakes, more to be dreaded than man- eating sharks, and more to be feared than the Gila monster or the tarantula. Here's some expert testimony on • the subject of flies: "in its habits the fly is probably the most. objectionable insect with which t f than comes in contact," says Dr, Ernest , A Sweet of the United States Public I Health Service, who adds: "The fly not only breeds in filth, but . it continues to frequent objectionable material throughout the days of its ex- istence, leaving only to invade the resi- dence of man, contaminate his food, and oftlnes to spread disease, "Flies may transmit disease in either i of two ways. The first method is by mechanical transference, whereby the insect becomes contaminated with the! parasites or micro-organizma of disease as a consequence of frequenting filth and places where these agents abound, a * * * n, * r THE COTTAGE FLOWER GARDEN * .. ;r .. ao .. e ,. ..

Now, do you want and flies around your house this summer? The heaviest fly season conies in August and September. • The lightest is now, when they are just appearing. One fly killed today may save the life of a human being this summer- your life, it may bel One fly less today means a hundred thousand less next September. Swatting a fly today is equal to swatting a hundred thousand four months hence, thus carrying pathogenic organisms Plies breed in filth, garbage pails, by man." scraps of decaying food, manure piles and vegetable refuse. It is easier—and healthier—to pre- vent the fly than to swat it. ' Therefore bury all refuse which may serve as breeding grounds for flies. Do not let manure lie uncovered. Throw no food into yard or upon the street. Cover the garbage pail, and clean it 1, thoroughly at least every week. Cover every particle of food left in the house between meals. i Screen windows and doors, iSwat every fly you see. Swatting flies is good exercise. The fly is your enemy, Don't mis- take that! directly to food and drink partaken of "Milk, which is one of the best media fc; the growth of bacteria, may be con animated by flies merely through the act of feeding, "The second method of disease transmission is by inoculation. For- tunately houseflies are of, the non -biting variety, and therefore incapable of spreading disease in this way. "Of the disease which may be tran- smitted by houseflies the following are worthy of consideration: Typhoid fever diarrhea and enteritis, cholera, dysen- tery, paratyphoid fever, intestinal parit- stie infections, sleeping, sickness, surra nagana. doors is more liable to attack by pests than that inside grown, therefore it should be sown more thickly and watched carefully.

Strang, L.L.D., one of the prominent educationists of the prov- ince, occurred at his home here to- day in his seventy-eight year, Mr. Strang was born to Galt, the son of the late Rev. t'iir.

Text of Four Questions to Which Every Voter Must Answer Yes or No.—Local Option:. Features in Provision for Sale of Beer in Standard Hotels.—Vote to be T' aken not Later Than Nov- ember and by September, if Possible, The Ontario Government's refer- endum proposals were announced in the Ontario Legislature by Sir William Hearst Monday. The Prime Minister, contrary to expectations, did not bring down the legislation upon which the referendum will be based, but to a lengthy statement he gave the House a clear outline of what the legis- lation will be. The Government's pol- icy may be summed up under two heads; its referendum proposals and its policy of ownership and control in the period that must elapse before the will of the people can be fully ex- pressed. The Government, in pur- suance of the announcement tuade by the Prime Minister several months ago, will bring in legislation providing for the taking over of the business of sell- ing liquor under the Qntario Temper- ance Act, the establishment of distrib- uting' ware -houses and agencies in var- ius parts of the province. So much for the temporary pol- icy. The policy for the future will depend upon the vote of the people, for the four questions which Sir William announced will be sub- mitted to the people will record public opinion absolutely. If the people vote for the continuance of the Ontario Temperance Act that Act will stay upon the statute hooks. If at the sante time they give a ma- jority for the sale of light beer in standard hotels after a vote by the municipal electors, amendments will be made to the Ontario Temperance Act to make such sale possible, The ocher two questions will be in exactly the sante position. If the people give a majority vote for one or the other that one will be made effective. Thus it is possible, though not probable, that the province, by its vote, may say it wants the Ontario Temperance, Act amended to permit the sale of ight beer in sealed pack- ages, in Government agencies, in stand- ard hotels over the bars, and sph•itoLts liquors generally in Government agen- cies. A full vote on all four questions is assured by the simple plan of re- quiring the elector to vote on every question or have his ballot thrown out, 0. T. A. a War Measure, The Prime Minister in staking his statement referred to tate enactment of the Ontario Temperasee Act as a war measure. He spoke of his ex- planation of the purpose of that bill and his declaration that the Govern- ment would not have thought of urg- ing the passage of such a bill without the vote of the people, but for the war and the obligations it imposed. At that time he had given the word of the Government that when the death struggle in France and Flanders was over and the soldiers who were fight- ing for liberty had returned to exercise the full rights of citizenship the ques- tion would be definitely settled by the submission of a referendum to the people, ' There may be some slight verbal changes but the ballot the have deter- mined to adopt is as follows: IYesl No 1, Are you in favor of the re-) peal of the Ontario Temper -1 1 nice Act?' I I 2 Are you in favor of the sale of light beer containing not, more than 2 51-100 % alcohol weight measure through Government agenc- ies end amendments to the Ontario Temperance Act to permit such sale? 3. Are you in favor of the sale of light beer containing not more than 2 51-100 alcohol' weight measure in standard hotels in local municipalities that by Maj- ority vote favor such sale, and amendments to the Ontario Temperance Act to permit such sale? p 4, Are you in favor of the sale of spirituous and malt liq- uors through Government agencies and atuendtuents to the Ontario Temperance Act to permit such sale? 'Honorable gentlemen will note every questions 15 separate and distinct, Tie is Ino confusion of one question with the other. The issue involved in each question is clearly defined, so that the most unlearned can easily under- stand Ile effect of the vote he gives, •ihe wayfaring man need not err. Vote on Every Question. In order to prevent any confution int determining the result, every voter must 'vote on efrery question rr All' ballot will be spoiled, The Act will be so drawn as to give effect to whatever the will of the people may be 'disclosed by the vote on each question. Question t -'-Thus if the first ques- tion is answered in the aflfrniative, the Ontario Temperance Act will be re- pealed, and the old license law, just as It existed prior to 1916, will be re- vived. in 'that event there would be no necessity for further consideration. of the other questions, for the greater would include the less, and liquor would be sold in bars and slops as in years gone by, •But this is not likely to happen. Question 2—Then we come to ques- tion 2, if this question is answered in the negative, nothing is required to be - done, but if it is answered in the affirm- ative, the Government will be called' upon to at once make provision for the sale of light beers through Government sales agencies, provision for the estab- lishment of which is made by the bill 1 referred to in any opening remarks. Question 3—The same course will follow in regard to question 3. If the majority vote is in the negative, no action is necessary. if the majority vote is in the affirmative, the Govern- ment will be called upon to at onc' make provision for the sale of light beer in standard hotels. This question differs from the other questions in this, that before the Government can author- i7e the issue of a license to sell beer in a standard hotel in any municipality two things must happen: (5) A major- ity of all the electors in the province voting must have voted in the affirma- tive on this question, (2) A majority of the electors voting in the municipal- ities must have voted ill the affirmative Take the City of Toronto—a license could not be granted in that city to sell light beer unless a majority of those voting in the whole province had voted "Yes" to question 3, and a maj- ority of the electors of Toronto had also voted "Yes" to this question, 11 questions 2 and 3 both carry, provision will be made !far sale of light beer in Government agencies and in standard !totels. Question 4—Again with question 4 —should the affirmative carry— the Government will be called upon to make all necessary and proper regula- tions for the sale through Government agencies of liquor of all kinds for con- sautption in hones only, FACING DEATH IN A MONTH (Toronto Times) Eating and sleeping esceptionaily well, and taking as much exercise as the cramped space in the death -cell will allow, Frank McCuhiugh, Sentenc- ed to death a month from to -day for the murder of Acting Detective Frank Williams is patiently awaiting the dawn of his last day on earth.
